Anti-Neuron Specific Enolase

In 1X PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.09% sodium azide. NSE is one of the three enolase isoenzymes found in mammals. This isoenzyme, a homodimer, is found in mature neurons and cells of neuronal origin. A switch from alpha to gamma enolase occurs in neural tissue during development in rats and primates. [Wiki] Protein function: Has neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties on a broad spectrum of central nervous system (CNS) neurons. Binds, in a calcium-dependent manner, to cultured neocortical neurons and promotes cell survival. [The UniProt Consortium]
